Some lawyers are paid a regular salary. These are usually newer lawyers at a firm, or lawyers who work for the government or as in-house legal counsel to a big company.

Other lawyers are partners in a firm. They get a salary and /or big bonuses and profit-sharing. They are part owners of the business and the more money the Firm makes, the more they earn.

Some lawyers only get paid when the finish a case. So one week they might get paid a lot, and then nothing for another week or two. The amounts could vary greatly.

Some lawyers bill clients hourly. So their paycheck will depend on how many hours they put in on a case AND whether they can take that money out of the retainer fund, or if they have to bill the client and wait for the client to send the money.

If you work part time are you a salaried employee?

You can be, it depends. Whether or not you are a salaried employee is something that you should know based on the way you get paid and your work schedule. If you get paid hourly, you are not a salaried employee.Whether you are salaried depends on your job duties ... not on how often you get paid. All overtime exempt employees must be paid for full days. Still, one could work three or four days a week at a properly salaried exempt job and be a part-timer.
